Pretty nice muffin. I didn't have butter so used a mix of margarine and oil. I added ground flax seeds and wheat germ, as I do with all muffins, and substituted some of the white flour with pastry whole wheat. Also, I added some vanilla, and a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter in addition to sprinkling on top.

What a great recipe! I have to admit I threw in a little more lemon juice, sugar, added some apple juice (and less milk), some walnuts, and made a bread out of it. Deliciously moist and tasty. Yes, the cinnamon sugar topping is the best!

These were very good. I used soy milk for the milk and powdered egg-replacer for the eggs(allergies!). I added just a 1/2 t. or so of cinnamon to the flour mixture. Also, I used a little more fresh squeezed lemon than was called for. Very light. Yum!

this recipe was really good.just the perfect amount of sweet.I will definately do it again

Very moist, nice apple-y flavor. Not too sweet, no spice at all. I could barely taste any lemon despite using both bottled lemon juice and dried lemon zest in this. I used 2 pink lady apples diced up finely. I used a premixed cinnamon/sugar in the shaker for this and plenty of it for each muffin. The sugar/cinnamon topping made a flaky layer that peeled and fell off, rather messy when they cooled. I would much rather have had a streusel topping instead. I got 12 regular sized muffins and 3 large ones from this batter. Okay but I probably won't make these again as they just didn't make "the list".

I liked this recipe and it looked visually appealing, but it had a funny taste to it when I made it- I don't know what it was, but it had a sour aftertaste. It might have been the apples or the lemon, but it did come out tasting average.

Great recipe! I made this together with my 3-year-old and everyone loved them! I will definitely make them again!

I'm not sure why but I totally didn't like these. My boyfriend did though. The cinnamon scorched on top (not surprising for 15 min at 425). They took an extra 5 min to bake, but I think I was just expecting it to taste differently. The apples, lemon and cinnamon combined into a weird flavor.

These are really nice, moist, and flavorful muffins. I am generally not one to hack these recipes to death when I try them, but I did make a few changes this time (some out of necessity and some out of preference). I didn't have any lemons on hand, so instead of using the zest and juice of a lemon, I added a tsp of Penzey's lemon extract, which is nice and strong and imparted a nice natural-tasting lemon flavor. I diced the apples very, very finely because if my 2-year old finds chunks of anything in her muffins, she spits them out. (I would love to know if anyone has made this with grated apples, by the way!) 10 T of butter seemed like a lot to me, so I used 6 T of butter and 4 T. of natural style applesauce; this was just enough butter to keep the muffins rich and moist. I added about a half tsp of cinnamon to the batter and skipped the cinnamon/sugar on top. These are moist, flavorful, not-too-dense and not-too-light, and I agree with another reviewer in saying kind of tutti-fruitti in flavor. I will definitely make these again. Thanks for a great muffin recipe!

Delicious! My fruit-avoiding 3-yr old son wolfed down his own and his grandfather's while grandfather wasn't looking! I added extra lemon juice and used a mixture of lemon and orange zest because that's what I had available. I also microwaved the chopped apple for 30s before adding it to the mix. They turned out light and fluffy inside and beautifully crunchy on top. Thanks!

My family loves this muffins, but I found it a bit wet due to the apples. I also prefer more cinnamon in this recipe as the sprinkling on top is not enough for me. But overall it tastes good

These were very nice. I used a mixture of lemon and orange zest which worked well.

Husband really liked these. We both agreed that next time we are going to try with orange instead of lemon, think it will be great. Used 25% whole wheat flour and cooking time in a convection oven using frozen apples was 21 minutes. Will def. make again.

light and moist, excellent with breakfast or lunch.

I used 2 medium red delicious apples(all I had on hand) Took the apples unpeeled and half a lemon rind and threw it into my food processor. Very easy to whip up. I like the skin left on the apples for bits of color(and added fiber) I used half cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup a-p flour. I only had buttermilk so used that in lieu of regular milk. Added 1/2 tsp. nutmeg to the batter and this complimented the other flavors nicely. These are not very sweet so sugar/cinnamon mixture on top was a plus. I also added tsp. vanilla. These were super moist with a fluffy light texture even with using the w.wheat flour. They almost had a 'tutti-frutti' flavor. Very nice muffin.

Yum! Next time I will be sure to cover the entire muffins with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Be careful though, I ended putting apples on some of the bottoms of the muffins and the bottoms fell off. I had my camera near by and I thought it was fun to take a picture of them and I posted the picture :0)
